Liquitex Acrylic Additives: Customize the Performance of Your Paint Without Adding Binder
Liquitex Acrylic Additives are specialized tools that let you fine-tune the behavior of acrylic paints and mediums without introducing additional binder. Unlike acrylic mediums, additives do not contain acrylic polymer emulsion, so they won’t act as a binder themselves. Instead, they modify characteristics such as consistency, transparency, sheen, drying time, and absorbency—giving artists the flexibility to create exactly the effects they want.
Whether you're looking to increase flow, thicken paint, speed up or slow down drying, or alter the sheen, Liquitex Additives provide precision control over your materials and creative process.
